You cannot seriously quote an interview that really says nothing definitive from back on 1st July - I'm sure BT have been trialing a few different things, since Youview has dragged on and on and on, but now they officially announced Youview pricing and we are told the firmware due by the end of year is the one to support IP channels, there can be little doubt for me Youview is Vision 2/Vision HD/Vision++ whatever you like to call it.
True, SC, true.
But it is coming. YouView has now been announced and with be fully supported by BT. But BT Vision is going absolutely nowhere and will also continue to be fully supported by BT.
But, of course, the proof will be in the HD pudding... 
My head hurts 
I received the email offering me the new Youview box for £49 so I thought I would investigate, as well as this thread I found this FT article and this one Videoworld that suggests the Humax youview box is a stop gap offering, because the faster, more modern Pace box is not ready!
I'll say it again, my head really hurts!
Edited because the FT link does not always work, so I have added one that should hopefully work
Oh dear, just read the small print on the email
" To move your BT Vision service onto a YouView box for £49, you'll need to be out of your minimum term contract and take out a new 12-month contract for BT Total Broadband or BT Infinity and BT Vision. Customers within their minimum term can purchase the YouView box for £299. "
So as a valued customer I am only eligible if I am out of contract!
